Now, you can read 25 of his most famous adventures in The Tom Swift Collection including such famous adventures as "Tom Swift and His Air Ship," "Tom Swift in the City of Gold" and "Tom Swift in the Land of Wonders."Tom Swift, son of wealthy inventor Barton Swift, invented the darnedest gadgets imaginable, and used them to fly to the outskirts of the solar system, search for hidden treasure, go to strange places, battle spies and consort with aliens. He was accompanied on all his adventures by best friend Ned Newton, girlfriend Mary Nestor, and the ever-faithful Rad, grounds-keeper of his father's estate.
